Forskare har lyckats kartlägga granbarkborrens hela arvsmassa. Genombrottet banar väg för ny forskning på barkborrarna och långt bättre möjligheter att effektivt bekämpa skadeinsekten som varje år kan fördärva mer än 100 miljoner kubikmeter granskog i Europa och Asien. Kartläggningen av skalbaggens arvsmassa (genom) ökar möjligheterna att förstå hur och varför granbarkborren blivit en mycket framg
